Default My Stupidity = $$

It is bad enough when you find a nice scratch on your car you thenwant to kill the person who did it, it is even worse when you scratch it your self. I was being a little to careless when I was moving some things around in my garage and needless to say when i was moving my car jack I hit the front left fender and dented italong with taking a dime size chunk of paint out all the way down to the metal.

Now I have a decision to make. Do I either use touch paint and mask it the best that i can or do I just go and get the whole fender repainted? Suggestions are welcomed!

Try fixing it yourself first. If it comes out good enough to satisfy you then you saved money. If it looks like crap then have it repainted.

Get it repainted so the paint fades with the stock paint. If you get it painted later it will be harder to match.

Definately get it repainted. Or better yet, buy an aftermarket front bumper.[8D] And grilles, and a hood.





C'mon, you're going there eventually.....
